Using an http proxy like nginx, you can load balance GETs across nodes, and direct all POSTs,
PUTs and DELETEs to a master node. CouchDB's triggered replication facility can keep multiple
read-only servers in sync with a single master server, so by replicating from master ->
slaves on a regular basis, you can keep your content up to date.

The major advantage of the architecture is, however, that it is designed for high traffic.
No locking occurs is the storage module (MVCC and all that) allowing any number of parallel
readers as well as serialized writes. With replication, you can even set up multiple machines
for a horizontal scale-out and data partitioning (in the future) will let you cope with huge
volumes of data. (See [http://jan.prima.de/~jan/plok/archives/72-Some-Context.html slide 13
of Jan Lehnardt's essay] for more on the storage module or the whole post for detailed info
in general).

- == Creating my view index takes ages, WTF? ==
-
- A couple of reasons:
-
- 1) If you have a lot of documents or lots of large documents (going into the millions and
Gigabytes of data, the first time a view index is created just takes the time it is needed
to run through all documents.
-
2) If you use the `emit()`-function in your view with `doc` as the second parameter you
effectively copy your entire data into the view index. This takes a lot of time. Consider
rewriting your `emit()` call to `emit(key, null);` and query the view with the `?include_docs=true`
parameter to get all doc's data with the view without having to copy the data into the view
index.
3) You are using Erlang release R11B (or 5.5.x). Update to at least R12B-3 (or 5.6.3).
